The Lochmühle in the Liebethal, in "Saxon Switzerland"

Philipp Veith

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a black and white etching of a landscape. The horizon is high in the composition, with a sky filled with soft clouds. In the middle, a small house is partially hidden by trees, with a bridge over a stream. Trees, rocks, and a person sitting on a rock by the water flank the stream. The intricate line work captures textures of foliage and rocks, creating depth and contrast in varying shades of grey.
